SEATTLE — Three straight home games and three straight lopsided losses for the Washington men’s basketball team.
If their 23-point loss to No. 20 Auburn was startling and Friday’s 13-point setback versus USC was humbling, then the Huskies’ 74-49 defeat to No. 11 UCLA was simply more of the same for a team that continues to search for that elusive signature win.
It’s been years — four to be exact — since the Huskies beat a team ranked in the Associated Press top 25 poll, which is a glaring omission from coach Mike Hopkins’ resume and has been a point of contention for disgruntled and dismayed UW fans.
